What we do

Grants that change lives.

Many young people have a plan to get into the world of work and can afford to pay for the equipment, training qualifications or support it takes to get there. But what about those that can’t?

Our founder, youth and community worker Matt Kendall, died from cancer aged just 35. Knowing he didn’t have long, he set up the Foundation to carry on his work with young people in Birmingham to help them realise their potential.

If you’re aged 16 to 25 years old, living in Birmingham and have a plan to get into work and training but can’t find the money you need for things like work-related travel expenses, equipment and training, we can help with grants of up to £500.
